TERROR ON CAT ISLAND.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. la reign of terror
prevails ON Cat island. in Crittenden county.
Arkansas. some twenty eight miles below Mem
phis, on the Mississippi river. Martin Thomas
and Joe Hamlett, two residents of that neigh
borhood arrived in Memphis this evening and
brought intelligence of an affray which occurred
this morning between whites and negroes which
resulted in the killing of two negroes and the
wounding of several others The affray grew
put of the arrest of two negroes who, it is al
ieged, insulted some white ladies yesterday.
They were TO be tried this morning before
gro justice of the peace. Their act had aroused
the indignation of the whites. and about
dozen each of both races met this forenoon at
the preliminary investigation. AS to who started
the row nothing can be learned, out in the shoot
ing that followed both the negroes that were un-
der arrest were killed and two or three others of
their friends wounded. The negroes fed, but
after arming themselves prepared to return to
the scene of the conflict. They fired at Thomas
and Hamlett, who we're in skiff, and when last
seen were going in the direction of where their
companions had been killed The negroes on
Cat island outnumber the whites ten to
one. and serious trouble is anticipated. 1t is
impossible to gather further particulars to-
night.

contradieted, and, in point of fact, in this form
it was inaccurate.
The true version is the following: About three

Hirsch sent letter TO the Gar in which he of
fered sum of 80 900 900 20 found in Russia pri-
mary schools for Hebrews and $500 900 to bs at
the disposal of the Gar for works of charity.
The Gar wrote a note on the latter, and
Quested the Russian Minister of the Interior
to report verbally upon it on bis return TO Rus
sia. Tho offer thus remained dead letter for
three months. During this time those who
knew of it asked if Baron Hirsch. justly of
Tended by this delay, would not withdraw
his promise, and if such delay did not
expose this great and generous idea to the risk
OF not being realized. These fears are
an end. On the return OF the Car be received
the verbal report of his Minister of the Interior
on the subject, and signed his acceptance Of the
gift. The SIC. 0o0, 600 are to be paid into the
hank OF En- gland. and Baron Rothschild and
Baron De Worms, who were appointed trus-

It is estimated that, with its annual interest of

Never has such o munitcent gift been made by
a rich man in his lifetime to the destitute.
